At the end of the queue, extra auxiliary equipment, such as print and apply labeling machines or inkjet coders to print directly on the box, is frequently employed. End-of-Line Packaging machinery consists of all the conveyor systems required to carry the goods, as well as case erectors, case packers, case sealers, bundlers (sometimes called sleeve wrappers), palletizers, and pallet wrappers.
On the front as well as the back of a packaging line, it is quite feasible to have a fully automated factory. However, the majority of packages only require a piece of End-Of-Line Packaging machinery. The fact that practically all things need to be transported, including water bottles in sleeved concealment, machines for sewing in boxes, refrigerators, and other items, means that almost every packager requires anything at the end of the queue. How much a manufacturing facility needs to automate will depend on a variety of variables. RSC cases are frequently packed with rigid containers using a mechanical case packer. Packing large containers at moderate speeds or containers that may be easily stacked on a conveyor (rigid, stable bottles, jars, drums, etc.) is particularly ideal due to the slow process but high payload.
An excellent mechanical case packer uses a movement profile like a desmodromic cam to ensure differential speeds, improve efficiency, and facilitate the handling of products in End-Of-Line Packaging. However, because of the industry's simple and fixed-deposit status, these case packers are often dedicated to the beverage or bottle industry.
